13. Which of the following is a direct effect of climate change on Philippine ecosystems?
a. Decreased Sea levels
b. Coral bleaching in coastal areas
c. Increased formation of glaciers
d. Expansion of tundra regions
14. Which of the following is an example of a local biodiversity adaptation strategy to climate
change?
a. Planting climate-resilient native species
b. Importing exotic plants for landscaping
c. Ignoring habitat destruction
d. Expanding urban areas
15. Which of the following is a direct consequence of overpopulation?
a. Decreased demand for resources
b. Increased unemployment and housing shortages
c. Improved air quality
d. Lower population density
28. How does rising temperature due to climate change affect forest ecosystems in the Philippines?
a. It causes soil erosion only, without affecting vegetation
b. It can alter species distribution and increase vulnerability to pests
c. It has no impact on forests because trees are resilient
d. It reduces rainfall uniformly, improving forest growth
29. Why is it important to protect wetlands and forests in adapting to climate change?
a. They are attractive to tourists
b. They act as natural buffers and support biodiversity
c. They can be easily converted to farmland
d. They have no effect on local species
30. How does overpopulation affect public health in densely populated areas?
a. It reduces the spread of infectious diseases
b. It increases the strain on healthcare systems and sanitation
c. It ensures better access to hospitals for everyone
d. It leads to a decrease in disease prevalence
44. Which scenario best illustrates the impact of climate change on both marine and terrestrial
ecosystems in the Philippines?
a. Deforestation in Luzon has no effect on fish populations in nearby seas
b. Warmer Ocean waters cause coral bleaching, while higher temperatures increase forest fires
c. Reduced rainfall in Mindanao increases river levels and benefits agriculture
d. Coastal mangroves remain unaffected despite rising sea levels
45. A local river has been drying up due to higher temperatures and reduced rainfall. Which
combination of actions best addresses the impact on biodiversity?
a. Introducing non-native fish species and building concrete dams
b. Restoring riparian vegetation and creating artificial wetlands
c. Draining the river completely and constructing housing
d. Allowing unrestricted fishing and agriculture along the river
48. If you were designing a conservation plan for a Philippine island affected by climate change,
which combined strategy would best address ecosystem impacts?
a. Planting climate-resilient tree species and restoring mangrove areas to protect biodiversity
b. Constructing more concrete buildings to prevent flooding
c. Encouraging tourism without considering environmental limits
d. Ignoring ecosystem changes and focusing only on economic growth
50. If you were tasked to develop a community plan to mitigate climate change effects on local
biodiversity, which approach would be most effective?
a. Designing a community garden using only imported plants
b. Developing a reforestation program, promoting sustainable farming, and educating locals about
species conservation
c. Building more roads through protected areas
d. Encouraging unrestricted logging and hunting
